No Foolin'

How can it be April already? April! The month even started off with showers last night (you know that saying, 'April showers bring May flowers.) with more predicted for tonight! And to reinforce the sometimes strangeness of April Fools' Day, despite being a week into Spring, it was downright chilly...here...in Los Angeles. Though that made it the perfect day for a little late afternoon baking. It was also a great way to get my mind off of things I didn't want to think about...at least for an hour.

You know the Parade magazine that comes with the weekend paper? A year or so ago, they printed a basic muffin recipe that I've been meaning to try. Finally got around to it today. The verdict is that the recipe is a winner. The article also included a handful of variations you could try...or if you're the daring type, you could go out on a limb and create your own concoction.

As the sun set tonight and the air grew colder, I boiled a kettle of water and settled in for a few minutes with a cup of tea and one of these muffins.

About Me

Everyone has a vice. Food is mine. I spend my downtime in the kitchen, cooking, baking and doing a lot of dishes. My other happy places are playing poker, collecting vintage/midcentury clothes and housewares, and art. I hope you enjoy the time you spend here.
